Liam Rosenior ‘wants to establish something’ at Hull City, which explains the need of trust.
The manager of the Tigers is optimistic about the team’s future.
The work Hull City has done with its loan players this season, according to head coach Liam Rosenior, has prepared the team for next season and beyond.
Throughout the season, City has made good use of the loan market, bringing in players like Liam Delap, Tyler Morton, and Fabio Carvalho. Scott Twine was a well-known summer addition before he left for Bristol City in January, and Jaden Philogene joined on a permanent basis from Aston Villa.
While Carvalho praised the team and Rosenior for reviving his career after dropping out of Liverpool’s first team, Morton and Delap both hinted at possible returns to the MKM Stadium the following season.

Regardless of whether the Tigers can secure their play-off berth on the final day at Plymouth, Rosenior says the culture that has been established since Ilicali’s 2022 takeover has helped the club attract some of the best young talent in English football and will continue to do so this summer and beyond. This is especially important given the amount of change that will be seen ahead of next season.
He told Hull Live, “I’ve always said you want to build something.” “You’re trying to create something here that will last over time, where we become known among young and senior players as a place where they want to come play football and where we’ve defeated other teams (to those players).”
“As a manager, I always tell players that trust is the most essential thing to me. I know it surprised a lot of people when we beat a lot of clubs thanks to some excellent young players, but word gets around pretty quick.
“You can accomplish that by working in a positive environment, being open and honest, and being honest.” We want to qualify for the playoffs, but even if we don’t, I believe this football team has had another really successful season that will provide us with a solid foundation for the coming years.”
Delap gave City credit for not choosing to terminate his loan agreement when the full severity of his injury became clear in early January. He also claimed to owe the team for that choice, which, according to Rosenior, was made by vice-chairman Tan Kesler and owner Acun Ilicali.
“I think that comes from Acun and Tan and the way that they operate, they care about people genuinely and when that filters through, it makes my job a lot easier as well, because we have to be aligned in our values as a football club of how we treat people,” he said.
“I must commend Acun and Tan for coming to that conclusion. We believed it was the right decision, not just because Liam Delap was involved, but also because he was totally committed to his role as a Hull City player. He views himself as a player for Hull City, and he still cares a great deal.
“He wants to succeed here and doesn’t see himself as a loan player. It’s crucial to be loyal to those who deserve it when it’s due.”
“They (the loan players) have come here for that reason. People will discuss money as though we had a lot more than any other Championship club, even though we don’t. Players that are here for the right reasons are among us.
“We don’t have the greatest facilities or training ground; it doesn’t have saunas, spas, or swimming pools, but it does have good people.” We have individuals that strive to maximize their daily accomplishments and who show concern for one another. Those players have shown a desire to play for a club like that, which is one I would definitely like to join.”
